Printing combobox

How can I print the contents of more than one combo box on the same line. I am trying this code, but it doesn't work. The text box array prints one tab apart on the same line, like its in columns. I need the combo boxes to do the same thing. This code just prints them down the left side. Excuse the screwy code, I have been trying everything I could think of.
Private Sub Combo1_KeyPress(Index As Integer, KeyAscii As Integer)
Dim p As Integer
p = Index
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
Combo1(p).AddItem (Combo1(p).Text)
Combo1(p).Text = ""
End If
End Sub
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim x As Integer
Dim p As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Do Until x = Text1().Count
Print Text1(x).Text; vbTab; vbTab;
x = x + 1
Loop
Print
Do Until p = Combo1().Count
PrntCbo (p)
p = p + 1
Loop
End Sub
Private Function PrntCbo(Index As Integer)
Dim p As Integer
Dim i As Integer
p = Index
Do Until i = Combo1(p).ListCount
Print Combo1(p).List(i)
i = i + 1
Loop
End Function

Your code should work if you include the semi-colons as you did previously

Code:

---

Private Function PrntCbo(Index As Integer)
Dim p As Integer
Dim i As Integer
p = Index
Do Until i = Combo1(p).ListCount
Print Combo1(p).List(i);vbTab;vbTab;
i = i + 1
Loop
End Function

That is closer to what I need, but, if I have three items in the first combo box, I need them to print underneath each other like in a column, then move to the next column and print the contents of the next combo box in that column.

I think you'll need a more complicated routine for printing then. Maybe store the current X and Y positions on the printer and move back to them with each new combo, and just increment the CurrentX value. Either that, or cycle through all the combos like this:

Code:

---

Private Function PrntCbo(ByVal fIndex as Integer, ByVal eIndex as Integer)

  Dim BaseLoop as Integer
  Dim SubLoop as Integer
  Dim maxCount as Integer
  Dim cStr as String

  'Work out what the longest Combo List is
  maxCount=-1
  For BaseLoop = fIndex to eIndex
    If Combo1(BaseLoop).ListCount>maxCount Then
          maxCount=Combo1(BaseLoop).ListCount
    End If
  Next BaseLoop

  'Now build the Printer Strings

  For BaseLoop = 0 to maxCount
    cStr=""
    For SubLoop = fIndex to eIndex
          if Combo1(SubLoop).List(BaseLoop)="" Then
              cStr=cStr & Combo1(SubLoop).List(BaseLoop)
          End If
          cStr=cStr & vbTab & vbTab
    Next SubLoop
    Print cStr
  Next BaseLoop
End Function

I can use the names of the comboboxes to get it to work.
I need to figure out which combo has the highest listcount to set my iterations. I can't figure out how to do it. I tried to work it out with this. In the function it sets a number to max, but I don't know how to retrieve the number. Can anyone help?

GetLong (max)
Do Until i = max
Print Combo1(0).List(i); vbTab; vbTab; Combo1(1).List(i); _
vbTab; vbTab; Combo1(2).List(i)
i = i + 1
Loop
End Sub
Private Function GetLong(ByVal max As Integer) As Integer
Dim BaseLoop As Integer
Dim SubLoop As Integer
Dim fIndex, eIndex As Integer
max = -1
For BaseLoop = fIndex To eIndex
If Combo1(BaseLoop).ListCount > max Then
max = Combo1(BaseLoop).ListCount
End If
Next BaseLoop
End Function

Sorry Kokopeli, Those comments I put in my code referred to what the code was about to do, rather than what you still needed to do. The routine should work as it currently is in your code. All you should have to change is the routine which calls the function.

here is my print sub.

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Dim x As Integer
Dim p As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim g As Integer
Dim max As Integer

Do Until x = Text1().Count
Print Text1(x).Text; vbTab; vbTab;
x = x + 1
Loop
Print

GetLong (max)
Do Until i = max
Print Combo1(0).List(i); vbTab; vbTab; Combo1(1).List(i); _
vbTab; vbTab; Combo1(2).List(i)
i = i + 1
Loop
End Sub

I just need to figure out how to get max to equal the max in the function.

Sorry if my reply was a little cryptic...

Paste my function into your project

Your function should be changed to the following:

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
  Dim x As Integer

  Do Until x = Text1().Count
    Print Text1(x).Text; vbTab; vbTab;
    x = x + 1
  Loop
  Print

  PrntCbo(0,2) 
End Sub

---

It still didn't work. Is there a way to find the highest listcount.

Sorry again Kokopeli. That will teach me to enter a whole routine in this window instead of testing it in VB first.

The prntCbo function I gave you earlier won't work. Here's a better one.

Code:

---

Private Function PrntCbo(ByVal fIndex As Integer, ByVal eIndex As Integer)

  Dim BaseLoop As Integer
  Dim SubLoop As Integer
  Dim maxCount As Integer
  Dim strC As String

  'Work out what the longest Combo List is
  maxCount = -1
  For BaseLoop = fIndex To eIndex
    If Combo1(BaseLoop).ListCount > maxCount Then
          maxCount = Combo1(BaseLoop).ListCount
    End If
  Next BaseLoop

  'Now build the Printer Strings
  For BaseLoop = 0 To maxCount - 1
    strC = ""
    For SubLoop = fIndex To eIndex
          If BaseLoop < Combo1(SubLoop).ListCount Then
              strC = strC & Combo1(SubLoop).List(BaseLoop)
          End If
          strC = strC & vbTab & vbTab
    Next SubLoop
    Print strC
  Next BaseLoop
End Function

---

In your function you use:

Code:

---

Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
  Dim x As Integer

  Do Until x = Text1().Count
    Print Text1(x).Text; vbTab; vbTab;
    x = x + 1
  Loop
  Print

  PrntCbo 0,2
End Sub

I've entered this code in VB and it works. Please try it.

Thank you, it works, even with one combo empty. Just what I needed.
